POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day, The Land Mortgage Bank of India, Limited. An extraordinary general meeting of the pro prietors was held yesterday at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street--S. Laing, Esq., in the chair. The Secretary read the advertisement convening the meeting, which showed the object of the meeting to be to hear resolutions to be proposed, "in the nature of special resolutions, for the purpose of authorising the company to exercise the powers given by the act to joint stock companies to make and use one or more seals, to be used in such place or places as may be thought desirable in India, and for the purpose of determining the mode and manner in which, and the p - .rties by whom, such power shall be exercised ; and for the purpose of altering the articles of association of the company so far as may be necessary for the pu rposes aforesaid." The CHAIRMAN explained that the object of the meeting was of a formal character. In taking mort gages there was a great difficulty experienced in plac• in; in thenasaes of trustee s i n I nd i a, where t h e succes sions were very rapid, and w h ere poss ibl y if a mort gage were vested in the nam es o f agents, t h ere m i g h t be changes necessary by reason of death or from those parties returning to this country. The diffi cultyenable the company to use corporate seal in India would be removed by a provision wh i ch would as well as in England. It was thought by the legis lature that such a power should be given in all companies' general acts, and accordingly an act was passed having that object in view. it would be then lawfdl to have a corporate seal both in India and in the colonies, and a second meeting would be held in seven clear days to confirm that resolu tion, which it was important should be passed without delay, because they would then be able to commence business in I n di a. The sca l e woul d be placed under the custody of the agents and solicitors, and the same caution would be used as in the case of the one seal. He might state that the last advices from India were very satisfactory. Mr Fitzwilliam had returned from India, and the accounts which he brought were very satisfactory. In a business of this descrip tion great care was necessary to avoid making bad debts. Some delay had arisen from the extraordi nary state of the money market in India. Remit tances in silver, however, had been made, and the whole of the paid-up capital in India was invested partly in mortgages and partly on temporary loans on Government securities, from which they received interest approaching 8 and 9 per cent. He would now put the resolutions, which were four in num ber. The first resolved that the company and the authorised and e b t a n a p r o d we o r f ed dir t e o ct e o x rs er w ci e se re th e e xp p r o e w ss e i r y s given them by the act of 1864, subject to resolutions to be passed. h The second resolution declared that official seals should presidencies, be empowered to see that such seal s were prepared prepared and f d o r t kat Bengal,te d ireetors should be Madr as , an d Bom bayaccordingly. The third and fourth resolutions re ferred to details connected with the affixing of the seals, &c. A fifth resolution was that the articles of agreement, so far as they might be opposed to these resolutions, were repealed, vtaied, and modified. All the resolutions were carried unanimously ; and the chairman stated that another meeting must be held on Monday week, which would leave seven clear dap,' notice as required by the act. The meeting then separated. Metropolitan Board of Works. The weekly meeting of the board was held yes terday, —Mr Thwaites in the chair. The report of the Streets Committee was brought up, and stated that, in their opinion, the best course to be pursued for relieving Park-lane would be the opening up of Hamilton-place, and that having re gard to the fact that the improvement exclusively affects property belonging to the Crown, it is one which should be carried out by the Government, and rscommending that a communication to that effect he addressed to the First Commissioner of her Majesty's Works. Mr. DALTON moved the adoption of the report, after which conslderable discussion ensued as to whether they had the power to make the street without an act of Parliament. Several amendments were proposed and nega tived, ved ultimately the original motion was put and carried. Mr. BOODLE moved " That the Building Act and General Purposes Committee be instructed to report fortwith on the letter addressed by Mr, Par sons, district surveyor of Lambeth, to certain builders and other persons in reference to a state ment made by Mr. Robert Taylor, member of this board, as to the manner in which Mr. Parsons per formed his duties." It was also resolved that the board take into con sideration the desirability of petitioning Parlia ment to grant to this board the horse and carriage duties levied i❑ the metropolis for the purposes of public improvements. A letter received from the Hampstead and Char ing-cross Junction Railway Company was read, agreeing to make a new street from Tottenham court-road, 60 feet wide, and to make a station on the south side of Oxford-street, at the corner of Crown-street. The subject was referred to the Thames Embank ment Committee, with power to make the neces sary arrangements with the company. Mr. E, T. SMITH'S BENEFIT.—Mr. E. T. Smith takes his benefit at Astley's Theatre on Monday. An at tractive bill of fare has been issued.

DEATH OF MRS. HENLEY.—The family of the Right lien. J. W. Henley, m.r., has just suffered a great affliction in the death of Mrs. Henley. The deceased lacy was the daughter of Mr. John cane, of Wormsley, Oxford shire, and was married to Mr. Henley in 1817, One of their daughters is tho wife of the Venerable Aechdeacon Denison. WATERLOO DAY.—This being the anniversary day of the battle of Waterloo, after a lapse of 49 years, 137 gallant officers above the rank of Lieutenant survive. The rank of these officers may be summarised as follows :-21 generals, 19 lieutenant•generals, 28 major-generals, 25 colonels, 25 lieutenant-colonels, 15 majors, and 4 captains, MADAME DE .LAMARTINE —A brief sketch of her has just been published in Paris, which tells the world something of her domestic life. It appears that she copied with her own hand all of M. de Lamartine's works, except "Les Girondins." All of the " copy" supplied to the printer is in her hand ; she kept the poet's own manu script as a precious treasure, which she knew posterity would value as highly as she did. He wrote the poem " Jocelyn" in a large album which he used for an account book, The obverse face of the leaves contained the accounts of the la bourers in his vineyards, the reverse was covered with poetry. After the poem was completed, and negotiations with a publisher were carried to a successful issue, Lamar tine, pointing to the album as he mounted his horse to make one of his usual long excursions, asked his wife to send it to the printer. She opened it, and, seeing at first nothing but the accounts of the labourers in the vineyard, thought there must be some mistake. She examined farther, and found the reverse face of every leaf contaired " Jocelyn." She laughed, took the album to her secretary, and resolutely set to work to copy the poem. 111, de Lawartine thought his work in the publisher's hands, until a week afterwards, when, as they were sitting down to breakfast, she gave him the album and the unblotted manu script of" Jocelyn." The poet was so deeply touched that he took a pen and wrote the three dedicatory strophes to Maria ALna Eliza, which are to be found on the first page of that work. Who has not read them ? She copied 511 of M. da Lamartine's correspondence. She leaves a great many letters scattered in the hands of friends, which I\l. Dargaud, it is said, is col ecting with a view to publication. They are represented as written with great talent. POTATOES.—Thus far this is the hest year for potatoes that has been known in Cornwall for a long time, and it is stated that there has never before been anything like such a large importation to the London and other great marke's at so early a period of the season. For the past fortnight the average quantity da ly transmitted from the western part of the country was from 115 to 120 tons. Several thousand baskets have been shipped from the Scilly Islands to Falmouth, and thence forward per rail. The labour in transferring from the narrow gauge of the West Cornwall line to the broad gauge of the Corn wall line at the Truro station, has been very heavy, On Wednesday above 150 tons of potatoes were sent per rail, and on Thursday a train of 25 trucks and two engines con veyed an immense quantity to London and elsewhere. Prices are unusually low. The local markets are well sup plied, and potatoes of last year's growth, although in excellent condition, are by no means readily disposed of. This year's crop is turning out remarkably well, and as yet there is all but an entire absence of disease. THE LATE PROFESSOR FERRIER.—On Thursday the grave closed over the most eminent and original metaphysician whom not only Scotland but Great Britain has of late years known. In the early death of Professor Ferrier, Scotland has to mourn a worthy representative of that great line of original thinkers, which, beginning early in the last century, was carried on by David Hume, Adam Smith, Thomas Reid, Dugald Stewart, and Sir William Hamilton. Unlike, even opposed as he was to these in many respects, in this he was one of them, that to the highest and abstrusest problems of philosophy, heights too rare for common men to breathe in—he devoted, with the ardour of an ancient Greek, the best years and ripened strength of his fine and penetrating genius. He has been stricken down in the midst of his powers, when, as seemed to us, but half his work was dons, and while his mind was preparing itself for a higher flight, and wider achievements. Enough, however, he has left behind to be an enduring monument of his genius, which England has already re ceived•with ampler acknowledgment than his own country has yet accorded.—Scotsman. " WHAT'S LIFE TO You IS DEATH TO US !"--It is said that a species of Toucan lives upon the fruit which produces strychnia, but an equally strange announcement has just been made by Dr. Fraser with regard to one of the Lepidoptera. It has been found by this well-known Scotch physician that the larva of a species of moth lives upon the Calabar bean, a drug now much in vogue among ophthal mic surgeons, and whose action on the eye causes rapid diminution in the size of the pupil. THE INEQUALITIES OF THE FRANCHISE.--A correspondent, signing himself " Epsilon," writes to us upon this subject, as follows :—I have submitted the following facts to Mr. Gladstone, and have received an official acknowledgment. I served 7 years' apprenticeship and became a journeyman. I am now in business on my own account, but am not an elector. How is it, ? Thus. A year ago I had business premises in the suburbs, and was then an elector of Finsbury. As a matter of policy, however, I took part of extensive premisesin the Strand,and thus have become a lodger. Although Ido not reside at my place of business, I am still a lodger, for it suits my present family circumstances and tastes to prefer a suite of apartments in a large house than to rent a small one. I pay a joint rental of 36s 6d weekly, and also pay income tax. I have writ ten and reported for the press, often delivere d public lec tures,written and extempore, on various subjects. I could pro d uc e written certificates of character an d suitable ability from ministers and masters extending from the denies me, year of my age, Nevertheless my country me, and tens of thousands as good a s I am, the great right of citizenship. Is it generous —i s it just to oblige us to stand by, see others vote, and feel that we are but halt Englishmen ? I write this , respected Sir, calling to mind several in my private acquaintance among working men who would as conscientiously vote as any men among the upper or middle classes. We hail, then, your recent suffrage speech as the dawn of better times. Dep en d upon it, sir, that the absenc e of agitation is no proof of apathy, but of advancing intelligence in the lower classes. Clamour was once the order of the day; but in proportion as soc i ety advances from its boyhood will noise be distasteful. Never theless, if the Commons wish it, I hope they will have it. LEFT ON THE FIELD.—On the person of one of the Yankees killed in the fight at the Yellow Tavern was found a bit of paper twisted in the buttonhole of his jacket. It was a wretched pencil scrawl, evidently written after his fall, and while death was putting film in his eyes. It commenced :—" I, John Wilheimer, 2d New York Cavalry. lam shot and dying. Whoever finds me, send this to Sarah Wilhehuar, Brooklyn Yost-office, New York. She is my sister, and only relative in the country, Oh, my poor sister I do not break your heart, but I am shot through the breast and dying, and they have gone and left me here." . . What follows in this paragraph is ob literated by blood. The next sentence reads—" Write to Conrad Vitmare of our company—he owes me 50 dollars which he will pay you. Oh, my dear sister, farewell." The paper was taken from the body, and has been forwarded „ north by flag of truce. — Richmond Despatch. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

A subscription has been opened for the erection of a statue to the painter Greuze at Tournus (Saone et-Loire), his birthplace. This artist, who died in 1805, reckons among his best known works the " Accordee de Village," the " Jeune Fille pleurant son Oiseau," the " Cruche Cassee," and the " Male diction Paternelle." The whole of these have ben frequently reproduced by engraving. The extensive flour-mills of M. de Chabrillant at St. Vallier (Drome) were burnt to the ground three nights since.

OXFORD UNIVERSITY ELECTION.—WO are in formed that a requisition is in course of signature, headed by the names of Lord Robert Cecil and Mr Seymour Fitz gerald, requesting Mr Gathorne Hardy to allow himself to be put in nomination at the general election for the University of Oxtord. A correspondent further informs us that at a meeting yesterday a committee was formed and a secretary appointed. Mr Hardy has not, we believe, received any formal notice of the movement, and the diffi culty in his position no doubt is that he would not like to stand in the way of Sir Stafford Northcote, if Mr. Glad stone should retire, as is now confidently expected.—John Bull, Second Edition. ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE FROM A PRISON VAN.— On Thursday night, on the arrival of the prison van at Newgate which conveyed there the prisoners who were committed for trial at Bow-street Police-court, having been charged with post-office robberies, it was found that an at tempt had been made by the prisoner,: to make their escape. The sergeant of the van, upon taking the prisoners out of it, saw that Richard Walker had his c tat unbuttoned, and there was an appearance about the other prisoners—Henry Parker and Henry Robert Rixon, the post-office carrier — which excited his suspicions. After he got the prisoners into the gaol he looked into the van, and found that a panel near where Walker had been sitting had a large bole at the bottom of it. The prisoners were then searched, but nothing was found upon either of them b y w hich the orifice could have been made; and it was suggested that it had been passed through the opening into the street. But upon the prison van reaching the stableyard of the B divi sion, King-street, Westminster, an iron bar was found at the bottom of the van. The supposition then arose that the• bar had been placed on the ridge of the van and bad escaped from that place, and that it bad been removed from th e cell in which Walker was locked up at Bow-street. This he had concealed und er his coat when he entered the va n. DESPATC H OF THE WEST INDIA AND PACIFIC MAILS —The Roya l Mail Com p an y 's steamship Atrato, Capt.

THE CONFEDERATE GOVERNMENT AND THE CHESAPEAKE AFFAIR.--We stated some time past that the Confederate Government had sent a commissioner to Halifax for the purpose of investigating the facts in the ease of the seizure of the United States merchant steamer Chesapeake, and we gave at some length the principles of international law upon which the Government was prepared to assu me the respons ibility of the act and b ase a claim for the restitution of the vessel. We are now able to add that, upon the report of its commissioner, the Confederate Government, placed in full possession of the facts, has decided that these principles are not applicable to the Chesapeake, and so far from forming the basis of a future demand against the British Government, the act of the captors is distinctly and formally disavowed. The judicial authorities of the colony have, we believe, been unofficially informed of this conclusion. The position assumed by the Confederate Gwernment we un derstand to be this. While it maintains, and will continu e to main tain the right and the duty of every ci tizen of the Con federate States, and every foreigner enlisted in their service, to wage warefare openly or by stratagem upon the vessels of the enemy on their high seas, whether armed or not, it will afford no countenance or encn our the f agement, whether direct or indirect , to any neutral subjects, or within mutu al jurisdictions!? organise o part o expeditions for the purpose of carrying on hostilities against the United States.— Iniex.

DISGRACEFUL OUTRAGE, - Edward Salter, Nathan Goldsmith, and Henry Morris, three rough-looking men, were charged with the following wanton act of malicious damage and other disgraceful conduct : Francis Kettering, 240 B, said that at 20 minutes past 12 on the previous Right he heard a knocking at a door in Ebury•square, and on going there found Salter at the doer of No. 9. As witness was going up to him Salter left the door, and as he passed the parlour window wilfully broke a pane of glass with his fist. The landlord of the house, who was a perfect stranger to defendants, gave Salter into cus tody, when the latter struggled and resisted violently, when Goldsmith came up and said he should not be taken• Goldsmith then struck him several times in the face and made him bleed very much, and Morris then held the com plainant while he was being Mused by the other men. In the course of the attack Salter used the most disgusting and frightful threat of peculiar personal injury to complainant, which he endeavoured t•o carry into effect. Two other con• stables came, but they were violently assaulted by Salter and Goldsmith, and a disturbance was continued for a great while. James Hook, 291, proved the injuries ho had received from the defendants Salter and Goldsmith. William Brooker, 287 B, alleged a further assault of a savage nature against Salter. _ James Brock, the reserve man at the station, said that the conduct of the defendants was so violent that no less than six different gentlemen came to the Police Station to request that more constables might be sent to assist those who were being so violently attacked. Morris denied that he had done any thing at all; but the others admitted to some extent that they had been violent, but it was a long, rambling, incoherent story. Mr Self() said, that if Morris had been charged alone he would have dealt with his case, but he could not now as the whole was too serious, and he must send it to the Sessions for trial, MARLBOROUGH-STREET. EXTR tORDINARY CHARGE OF ASSAULT.--DISGRACE FUL CONDUCT OF A " GENTLEMAN."-Mr. John Sey more, but whose real name is said to be Henry Bruce Ogilvy, and who gave the address 2 A, Brook-street, St. Georges, and described himself as a •' gentleman," was charged before Mr. Knox with assaulting Mr Maurice Kehullet, wine merchant, of 17, Panton-street. Mr Kehullet said he lodged at No. 17, Panton-street. About half-past one that morning he heard screams in the house, and directly after the prisoner rushed down stairs. He stopped the prisoner, who said it was all right. He told the prisoner that he could not let him go till he saw whether it was all right, when the prisoner gave him three blows on the head with a stick, wounding him and smothering him with blood. The prisoner then broke three large and thick panes of plass with his stick, and on the complainant suc ceeding in getting the street-door open the prisoner rushed out of the house, leaving his hat and stick behind him. He with assistance pursued the prisoner and gave him into custody. Inspector Walker said that some prostitutes resided in the house. • Mr Knox asked if there were any other persons present, and the complainant said there was a boy. Wm. White, a boy about fifteen years of age, residing at No. 27, Grafton place, said he was taken to the house in Panton-strect by a female who invited him to sleep with her. On getting there connection took place between him and the female in the prisoner's presence. He afterwards saw the prisoner struggling with the complainant, Brown, a constable of the C division, said that hearing cries of murder, he went to the house and saw the com plainant bleeding from the head. The complainant said the prisoner had assaulted her, and gave him in charge, He noticed that there had been several panes of glass smashed in the door. The prisoner was sc ber. Mr Knox asked the boy whether the prisoner touched him at all, and the boy said, " Only once." Mr Kehullet said he stopped the prisoner because he did not know what had occurred. The prisoner said he went to the house with a female, and another female asked him if he would like to see her have connection with a boy, and he said " Yes." I did so. He might have put his hand on the boy by accident. Ho was afterwards going downstairs when he was stopped, and then struck the complainant two or three times, because he thought he wanted to extort money from him, and because he refused to let him leave the house. At last on the door being opened he ran out of the house. Mr. Knox (who it should be stated had cautioned the prisoner before he volunteered his statement, that what he said might be used in evidence against him) remanded the prisoner for a week, Subsequently Mr, Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough street, applied that the prisoner might he admitted to bail, but Mr. Knox refused the application till he was made aware whether the complainant was out of danger or not. THAMES, THE COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER AND HIS PRINCIPAL. —Mr William Wilson, proprietor of Colour Works, in Jubilee•streer, Milo-end, appeared before Mr Partridge, to answer a charge of assaulting Mr Thomas Mabe. Mr Charles Young, solicitor for the complainant, said his client had no vindictive feeling against the defendant, but he felt the ignominy of the blow, ,and was willing to accept an apology. The defendant declined making any apology, and said he wished for the magistrate's decision. Mr Charles Young said, as no apology was tendered, he must go into the case. The complainant had been com mercial traveller to the defendant, from whom he had re ceived a vile blow. The second blow attempted was parried by the complainant. The complainant said he had been in the service of the defendant since August last, and bad been travelling through Scotland, the Northern and Midland Counties, and finished his last journey on Friday, the 3d inst. On the following day he saw Mr Wilson, who then gave him notice to terminate the engagement between them. Upon re ceiving the notice they walked in the yard of the factory a few yards from the office door. He told the defendant he was quite right to terminate an engagement it he could see no advantage in it, and that it would make no difference to him (the complainant) as the old house he had left wished him to come back, and that he had seemed to forget that he had done Perry's business successfully. The defendant said that he had never consented to his doing Perry's busi ness at his cost. He told the defendant he could easily prove that to be untrue, on which the defendant got into a dreadful passion, called him a liar, with a prefix of a sanguinary nature before the word. He told the defendant that if he had sent in his goods equal to samples he would have seen a better result. This exasperated the defendant still more, and he called him a -- vagabond, and said he should give hint a-- good thrashing. He told the defendant he must be a thick-beaded fool to talk to him in that way. The defendant then made a rush at him and struck him a blow on the right eye. He had a parcel of samples in his hand, and could not avoid the blow. He put down the samples and avoided the next blow aimed at him. After some words he took his leave. The defendant said he received great provocation before he struck Mr Mabe, and that the blow was a slight one. Mr Partridge—Beth were irritated. The defendant had no right to lay violent hands on the complainant, and should control his temper. I fine the defendant 40s and 2s costs. The money was paid. Horrible Murder of a Female at Norwood, At about eight o'clock on Thursday morning a gardener, at Norwood, while proceeding with his work, was horrified by finding in a field close to the Anerly Station the dead body of a female, re spectably attired. Having obtained assistance the body was removed to the Robin Hood public•house, near the spot, where it was subsequently identified as that of Miss Louisa Dyer, who, with her sister, gained a livelihood by hawking articles about the neighbourhood, both of them being well known in the district. It appears that the deceased was last seen in tha company of two men, having the appearance of hay makers, on the evening of the 14th inst. The de ceased that evening visited the Robin Hood public house, and was afterwards seen to go in the direction of the field where her body was found. At present the men cannot be identified, and persons living iu the neighbourhood of the field alluded to do not appear to have heard any screams or alarm of any kind. Mr. Inspector Thomson, of the De tective Department,, Scotland-yard, assisted by Ser geant Thomas, of the same department, were yester day (Friday) evening engaged in making inquiries into the horrible affair, and, near the spot where the body was found, picked up a small iron bar, VP it b which it is supposed the deceased's death-blow was inflicted. From the examination of the body made by Dr. Wood, of Pengo Cottage, Norwood, that gentleman is of opinion that death was caused by a severe blow on the head ; bnt there has been other, and it is feared atrocious violence irflicted on the de ceased's person. It is supposed that the body had lain in the field for about two days, as the deceased had been for that time, and was la s t seen alive with the two men above referred to. missing THE LONDON SHAKSPERE MEMORIAL COM. mITTEE, says'a contemporary, find that the sum collected amounted to about £l,lOO, and that expended to about £BOO ; so that there remains about £3OO to place in the hands of trustees. The Green Park site for the statue has been given up; anJ, when the Thames embankment it completed, the site abutting ou the Temple-gardens, as the mast appropriate, will probably be decided upon, MARKETS—This Day COVENT GARDEN.
